In advanced semiconductor fabrication facilities, technicians handle colloidal quantum dots and metallic nanoparticles used in next-generation optoelectronic displays. Because of their incredibly small size, these particles present unique occupational health hazards if appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) is not worn.
Identify one pathway by which these engineered nanoparticles can accidentally enter a technician's body during a manufacturing shift.
